SISTERLY NON-LOVE

Hi Carolyn, A few weeks ago my sister, who I was never close with and is two years younger than me, decided to give me unsolicited advice about my relationship. She felt that my boyfriend of 4 years was never going to marry me, that I'm stuck on him like a piranha (her exact words), everyone knows I'll never leave him (again her exact words), and now that he is moving to a different state he is just going to coast with our relationship and never make a move. I got really upset and told her to MYOB, to which she returned with vicious attacks about me, him, his character, our relationship, etc... I also may have said some nasty things to her as well, but I was provoked. The funny thing about all of this is that my boyfriend is an amazing, sweet, caring guy, I was perfectly happy with the way our relationship was progressing, and coincidentally, he proposed to me a few days later (it just so happened that he had the ring in his possession at the time my sister was berating me and my life). Now here's my question: Her bridal shower is next Saturday and i have ZERO desire to go. I have not forgiven her for the absolutely rude comments she said to me and my mom thinks that we're both being immature (I'm 28, she's 26)... So she wants me to go regardless. I also have no desire to go to her wedding in July (to which she told me that my boyfriend-now-fiance was not welcomed at her wedding...don't ask, she's nuts). How do I handle this? Am I wrong in wanting to boycott her major life events (even though she's my sister), especially since she continually mocks mine?
